Five minutes after at 12 and no, Andrew, nobody was sabotaging Bob Crow's phone line.

0:20.5

None of my colleagues were sabotaging Bob Crow's phone line. None of my colleagues were sabotaging

0:22.5

Bob Crow's phone line towards the end of that exchange. It was simply, as I did warn you in advance,

0:27.4

we're in the hands of the technology on days like today. And, of course, with the strike set to
